  • Frame type H-frame
  • Tooling Progressive, deep-draw & trim dies (in-house)

Heaviest capacity on the floor — handles deep draw and heavy forming operations.

Laser cutting

Fibre laser profiling with no tooling requirement — the fastest route from a drawing to a real part.

1 machines
Machine Qty Capacity Specification & application
Fibre Laser Cutting Machine 1 1500 × 3000 mm bed
  • Working area 1500 × 3000 mm
  • HR steel Up to 25 mm
  • Stainless steel Up to 6 mm
  • Tooling required None
  • Input files DXF, DWG, STEP, PDF

Clean, accurate profiles straight off the bed — usually removes a secondary finishing operation.

CNC & machining

Milling, turning and drilling for production components and for tooling work.

3 machines
Machine Qty Capacity Specification & application
Vertical Machining Centre (VMC) 1 1300 × 800 mm envelope
  • Working envelope 1300 × 800 mm
  • Capability 3-axis milling
  • Applications Production parts & tooling

Handles secondary machining on pressed and welded parts as well as finished machined components.

CNC Turning & Drilling 1 Turned & drilled features
  • Capability Turning & drilling
  • Applications Cylindrical features, bores, tapped holes

Supports cylindrical and hole features on production parts and tooling components.

Traub Automatic Lathe Traub 1 Bar turning
  • Type Automatic bar lathe
  • Applications Turned components from bar stock

Used for repetitive turned components and turned features on bar-stock parts.

Welding & special-purpose

Fifteen fixtured welding stations plus dedicated single-purpose machines for high-volume tube operations.

17 machines
Machine Qty Capacity Specification & application
MIG Welding Stations 12 400 A
  • Rating 400 A
  • Fixturing Dedicated fixtures, built in-house

Structural and general joining across sheet and tube, always fixtured for repeatable geometry.

Projection Welding Machines 3 75 kVA
  • Rating 75 kVA
  • Typical use Nut, stud & small component attachment

Consistent, repeatable joints with no consumable weld wire — often cheaper than MIG at volume where the joint allows it.

Special-Purpose Machines (SPM) 2 Flaring + boring
  • Type Double-head flaring SPM, boring SPM
  • Purpose High-volume tube-end operations

Dedicated single-purpose machines that speed high-volume flaring and boring operations on tubular parts.

  • Coverage Machining, tool room & inspection

Combined 144 kVA of standby generation keeps production running through grid outages.

Measurement & gauging

Inspection equipment

The instruments behind our 100% inspection commitment. Every part is measured against your drawing before it is packed — incoming, in-process and final.

How we inspect
  • Height gauge Vertical dimension and step measurement from the surface plate
  • Vernier calliper General internal, external and depth dimensions
  • Micrometer Close-tolerance thickness and diameter measurement
  • Dial gauge Runout, flatness and comparative measurement
  • Thread plug gauge Internal thread go/no-go verification
  • Thread ring gauge External thread go/no-go verification
  • Plain plug gauge Hole diameter go/no-go verification
  • Radius gauge Formed and machined radius confirmation
  • Filler gauge Gap, clearance and fit assessment
  • Roughness tester Surface finish measurement against specification
  • Surface plate Reference datum for layout and height gauging

Capacity questions

Not sure whether your part fits our machines?

Send the drawing with material and thickness. We will confirm against the specific press, laser or machining envelope rather than guess.
